Millions of Peaches, Peaches for Three


This last weekend was just perfect. We finalized contingencies for repairs on both the house we are buying and the house we are selling and both are fairly minimal and not too costly. We also visited the zoo with a girlfriend of mine on Saturday, I indulged in a yummy nap Sunday afternoon and lastly, we had a great time picking peaches! 


We had been told by a few people to visit Patterson Fruit Farm out in Chesterland, Ohio and it was worth the 40 min drive. Sure the plump apple fritters and fruit selection were top notch, but they also had a large playground for Drew with a retired tractor. WIN!



Once the monkey was done climbing, it was off to the peach fields. He was given his own basket and was tasting his first fresh-off-a-tree peach within minutes. 


After that, any peach at his level was prone to being picked off with sticky fingers and devoured within seconds. 



And you can't beat just over a $1 a pound for perfectly sweet fresh peaches!


Hope you have a peachy day!

  1. You had me at 'apple fritter.' YUM!!! Despite living in Georgia my whole life...supposedly the 'peach state'...I have never picked peaches at a farm like that! Southern fail!

  9. I've never even heard of U-pick peaches. I bet they taste soooo incredibly sweet right off the tree.

    And yay for the indulgent nap. I've been doing that quite a bit the past few weekends. ;)
